Ok, this totally surprised me about cell phones. So I was reading that Get Z is embracing the nostalgia of classic mobile phones, with Nokia flip and slide phones becoming increasingly popular.  As smartphones became the norm among millennials, Gen Z is now opting for “dumb phones” as a way to cut down on screen time and prioritize self-exploration. The Luddite Club in New York City has even been founded by teenagers who shun new technology and advocate for disconnecting from the virtual world. Despite the rise of Y2K mobiles, feature phones are still on the decline, with the recent renewed interest from some folks unlikely to stop this trend, according to DC Worldwide Device Trackers research director Nabila Popal.
